We wanted Yossi! Would we still have signed Bellamy? Who would you prefer? I think Bellamy to be honest if it came down to the two http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11670_7177953,00.html
He probably knew his role at Liverpool would be to keep the bench warm. Arsenal with their squad difficulties was a more viable move to someone that actually wanted game time. I guess he was in a position where his career is suffering and he needed one last push to show his worth by playing first team football. I like the lad but can't see what he would offer us at present.
I agree with you mate I think we would have still signed Bellars as well as maybe we were in for Benayoun as replacement for Meireles?
